Couldn't speak highly enough of the nursery. Staff are well trained and management have high expectations whilst supporting the staff with their training and careers. The whole set up is very professional whilst still being personable and staff get to know the individual child. Children are educated through fun and nurturing care. Curriculum is varied and inspiring. Breastfeeding is supported. Communication is consistent and parent app is used daily.
